Edited by Jones, SerenaHOME AND AWAY: The British Experience of War 1618-1721 -- Proceedings of the 2017 Helion and Company 'Century of the Soldier' Conference The speakers at Helion's third 'Century of the Soldier' conference focussed on a variety of subjects, relating to both personal experiences of warfare, in distant conflicts and by domestic hearths, and the Herculean efforts required to keep conflict going. Discusses how wars affected the family of members of the military -- how in the 17th Century, it often left family destitute or following the army to seek aid. Details the necessity of travel, often for great distances and to unfamiliar or even hostile places. Topics include the destruction of the Earl of Essex's army at Lostwithiel in 1644, the Indian War of 1688, deserters' notices in the London Gazette in the 1680s and the attempts to retrieve missing recruits, the grueling experiences of soldiers' wives in Britain and Europe, and a detailed account of the thrice-besieged Basing House.
